Desperadoes Under The Eaves Lyrics - The Blue Room - Madeleine Peyroux

[Originally by Warren Zevon] 

I was sitting in the Hollywood Hawaiian Hotel 

I was staring in my empty coffee cup 

I was thinking that the gypsy wasn't lyin' 

And all the salty margaritas in L.A. 

I'm gonna drink 'em up 

And if California slides into the ocean 

Like the mystics and statistics say it will 

I predict this motel will be standing until I pay my bill

Don't the sun look angry through the trees 

Don't the trees look like crucified thieves 

Don't you feel like Desperados under the eaves 

Heaven help the one who leaves 

Still waking up in the mornings with shaking hands 

And I'm trying to find a boy who understands me 

But except in dreams you're never really free 

Don't the sun look angry at me

I was sitting in the Hollywood Hawaiian Hotel 

I was listening to the air conditioner hum 

It went mmmmmm. 

Look away down Gower Avenue, look away... 

Look away down Gower Avenue, look away...
